Jeremy Andrus, CEO of Traeger, commented, "Our first quarter results were largely inline with our expectations. During the quarter, our grills business grew
Mr. Andrus continued, "As we look to the balance of 2025, we face a very dynamic macroeconomic environment. The Traeger team has confronted challenges in the past, and we are quickly reacting to the current challenges by taking actions to manage those elements that are within our control. In the Outlook and Strategic Actions Update section of this release, we provide additional details on the actions we are taking to seek to mitigate the incremental costs of tariffs in an effort to protect Adjusted EBITDA and to promote balance sheet health via supply chain savings, cost reductions and strategic pricing actions."
"Given the uncertainty around rapidly evolving trade policy and the implications on the economy and our business, we are withdrawing financial guidance for Fiscal 2025. While we have seen healthy consumer demand so far this quarter, the impact of broader macroeconomic pressures on an already fragile consumer makes forecasting this year a challenge. We will provide updates to our outlook as we better understand these dynamics," concluded Mr. Andrus.

Fiscal 2025 Outlook and Strategic Actions Update
Due to macroeconomic uncertainty related to rapidly evolving trade policy and consumer sentiment, the Company is withdrawing its prior guidance for Fiscal 2025. In an effort to offset the direct impact of tariffs as well as to promote balance sheet health and to maximize cash flow, the Company is implementing a number of mitigation strategies. These efforts include:
-
Supply Chain. The Company has identified savings and efficiencies across its supply chain, including cost negotiations with its contract manufacturers. Moreover, the Company is working to diversify production further outside of
China into regions where it expects tariffs and costs to be lower and expects a meaningful reduction in the portion its production occurring inChina in 2026. - Strategic Pricing Actions. In collaboration with its retail partners, the Company has implemented strategic pricing increases across its product portfolio.
- Cost Reduction. The Company has implemented a cost savings initiative to drive efficiencies in its cost structure. Near-term, this includes the deferral of certain non-essential expenditures and projects, a material reduction in travel and entertainment spending, as well as a significant reduction in hiring. The Company expects to identify further cost savings opportunities during Fiscal 2025.
- Inventory Management. In light of the uncertain demand environment and to promote balance sheet health, the Company has significantly reduced purchase orders on grills and will reassess purchase plans with further sell-through data in the coming months. The Company expects that inventory on hand and in transit is sufficient to appropriately service near-term demand.

RECONCILIATIONS OF AND OTHER INFORMATION REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(unaudited)
In addition to our results and measures of performance determined in accordance with
Each of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per share, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted Net Income Margin are key performance measures that our management uses to assess our financial performance and are also used for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and other interested parties in analyzing our financial performance because they provide a comparable overview of our operations across historical periods. In addition, we believe that providing each of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income, together with a reconciliation of Net Loss to each such measure, and providing Adjusted Net Income per share, together with a reconciliation of Net Loss per share to such measure, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Net Income Margin, together with a reconciliation of Net Loss Margin to such measures, helps investors make comparisons between our company and other companies that may have different capital structures, different tax rates, and/or different forms of employee compensation. For example, due to finite-lived intangible assets included on our balance sheet following our corporate reorganization in 2017, we have significant non-cash amortization expense attributable to the nature of our capital structure.
Each of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per share are used by our management team as an additional measure of our performance for purposes of business decision-making, including managing expenditures, and evaluating potential acquisitions. Period-to-period comparisons of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per share help our management identify additional trends in our financial results that may not be shown solely by period-to-period comparisons of Net Loss or Income (Loss) from Operations or Net Loss per share. In addition, we may use Adjusted EBITDA in the incentive compensation programs applicable to some of our employees. Each of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per share has inherent limitations because of the excluded items, and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled metrics used by other companies.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Net Loss, Income (Loss) from Operations, Net Loss Margin, Income (Loss) from Operations Margin, and Net Loss per share, the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with
